Although this track was not included on a late April 1986 configuration of the [[Album: Dream Factory|Dream Factory]] album, it was included as the seventeenth track (fifteenth song) on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/June 3|3 June 1986]] configuration (segueing directly into [[A Place In Heaven]], which includes the final line of dialogue from [[Movie Star]] in its opening bars) and as the seventeenth track on the [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/July 18|18 July 1986]] configuration (with a complete ending). It was dropped, however, when the project evolved into the [[Album: Crystal Ball 1986|Crystal Ball]] triple LP (completely separate from the 1998 release of the same name). |
+ | A cassette containing the song (along with [[Witness 4 The Prosecution]] and [[Chocolate]]) was given to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis Miles Davis] on 24 March 1987 (the evening before [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis Davis]’ show at the Orpheum Theater, Minneapolis, MN, USA, which [[Prince]] attended). [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis Davis] did nothing in the studio with these tracks but he included [[Movie Star]] in his live repertoire when he resumed touring in May 1987. He notably played it during a concert given at the Roman Amphitheatre | ||
+ | Caesarea, Israel on 3 June 1987, broadcast live by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Broadcasting_Authority Israel Broadcasting Authority (IBA)]. This broadcast and others that followed in 1987 and 1988, more than 10 years before the release of the studio version by [[Prince]], contribute to consider '''Movie Star''' as being first officially "released" by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Davis Miles Davis]. His version contains additional sound effects (street and car sounds) and horn lines. An other live version performed at Montreux, Switzerland in July 1988 was included on the posthumous release [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Complete_Miles_Davis_at_Montreux The Complete Miles Davis At Montreux 1973-1991] in 2002 (and on a 10-DVD set in 2011). | ||
− | + | [[Prince]]’s studio version was included as the eighth track on the first disc of his 20th album [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] (his fourth using the name [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]]). The album is not clearly divided between [[Prince]] tracks and [[File: SymbolSmallerBlue.png|link=Alias: Symbol]] tracks, and the liner notes’ discussion of this track does not use either name, but the recording date places it clearly as a "[[Prince]]" track, so it is listed as such here. The [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] liner notes state that the song was chosen for inclusion because it was "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Angelo D'Angelo]’s favorite bootleg". The liner notes also state that the song was written for [[The Time]], although the band was no longer together when [[Prince]] recorded the track, and it is unknown if the song was considered for the band when [[Prince]] and [[Morris Day]] began work on the [[Album: Corporate World (1989)|Corporate World]] album in 1989. The version released on [[Album: Crystal Ball|Crystal Ball]] contains an opening which samples [[Jam Of The Year]] in the background of a party scene. | |
